Masdevallia concinna

Masdevallia concinna was described by Königer in 1982 from Peru and is also recorded in Zamora-Chinchipe, Ecuador. Herbarium records place it between 900 and 1,700 m on the Amazonian side of the Andes, one of them terrestrial on a road embankment between Tingo María and Pucallpa. It is a warm-intermediate grower for the genus. The climate grid in the data mixes a lowland site with a mid-elevation one and runs warmer than the plant's real range.

Where it grows wild

Wet foothill and lower-montane forest on the eastern Andean slopes. Records include epiphytic and terrestrial plants, the latter on a shaded, mossy road cut, which points to a plant tolerant of a range of perches as long as it stays moist.

Records span 900 m in San Martín to 1,700 m in Huánuco and 1,400 m in Zamora-Chinchipe. The two climate sites in the data sit at 273 m and 1,215 m.
